I used the skip-link (to #content) as a template to write a skip-link (to #main). That works fine; however, I'm having trouble placing it where I want (maybe in #access, thematic_belowheader, or #main or thematic_aboveheader.)
As you've probably guessed, I'm slowly learning php as I go.
Thx for any help or ideas.

Oh yeah, I only want it to show up on front-page in Thematic Feature Site.

Here is the solution I came up with (minus the CSS.) I hope I add this correctly. I'm sure there must be more elegant solutions.
// Add a skip-link
function skip_link_main() {
// Show only on front-page
// then define the action to take: skip to Thematic #main area instead of Thematic #content area
if (is_page() && is_front_page()) {?>
<div class="skip-link-main"><a href="#main" class="button" rel="nofollow" title="<?php _e('Skip navigation to the main', 'thematic'); ?>"><?php _e('Down to "Latest News & Services"', 'thematic'); ?></a></div>
<?php }
//end action:
}
//now we can add our new action to the appropriate place like so:
add_action('thematic_header','skip_link_main',3);

Hi Henry,
I love your latest news crawling banner with pagination.
Is it a plugin or what else?
Thank you,
Mario

@mpanda: thx, I used Smooth Slider found at http://www.clickonf5.org/smooth-slider
If I had more time, I would have followed "Step-by-Step to Create Content Slider" found at http://www.webdesignbooth.com/step-by-step-to-create-content-slider-using-jflow-a-minimalist-jquery-plugin/
As it is, I had to get the site up-and-running. I will probably come back and create my own slider in the future after the dust settles.
BTW both solutions allow you to add images to the slider. You can even replace the random feature implementation of Thematic Feature site using Z's contribution found at #post-9214 "Displaying recent posts in the Thematic Featured Site Theme home page." I tried it and it worked for me but ultimately went w/ a different design direction.

Thank you Henry,
I'll play around it as I'd need to display a gallery of images.
Henry, do you know if such plugin will work also for standard pages, I mean not only homepage?
A little off topic :)...congrats also for the contents of your site as childs need a lot of help and love to pass through the divorce of parents.

@mpanda: it has a lot of flexibility to create multiple sliders and work on different pages.
